Genome-wide analysis of cellulose synthase gene superfamily in Tectona grandis L.f.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to explore Cellulose synthase gene superfamily of teak, and its evolutionary relationship with homologous genes of other woody species. The incidence of evolutionary events like gene duplication and gene loss, influence of the selection pressure, and consequent adaptive functional divergence of the duplicated TgCes gene were assessed alongside it's role in wood coloration. This study identified 39 full-length non-redundant proteins belonging to CesA and Csl gene families. TgCesA and TgCsl proteins with Cellulose synthase domain repeats indicated tandem gene duplication and probable genetic variability, enabling local adaptation. Further, multi-domain protein (MYB-like DNA-binding domain and CesA domain) with maximum introns was also identified indicating gene fusion and fo
